Look Out, Quality Road

Having Gio Ponti press the leaders or up on the pace would be counter productive to the horse's style.

Strangling a horse off a 1.18 mile is recognizing the pace? It almost cost him losing to another longshot.

The horse was not strangled, he was rating kindly, please watch the replay. It was also a comfortable win, and it would have been even more decisive had he not run up on Expansion's heels. Watch the end of that race, he was never in trouble or stretched to win.
